Whero besoms in mercy aud kindness will heave, And the poor and wretched ehall “ask and receive f” Is there no place on earth where a knock from the poor Wdl bring a kind angel to open the door? Ah ! search the wide world wherever you can, There.is no open door for a moneyless mate Go look in yon hall, where the chandelier’s light Drives off with its splendor the darkness of n’ght, Where the rich hanging velvet, in shadowy fold, Sweeps gracefully down with its trimmings of gold, And the mirrors of silver take up and renew, In long lighted vistas, the wandering view— i Go there iu your patches, and find, if you can, A welcoming smile for a moneyless man. Go lock in yon church of the cloud-reaching spire, Which gives back to the sun hU same look of red fire, Where the arches and columns are gorgeous within, And the wails seem as pure as a soul without siu ; # Go down the long aisle, see the rich and the great In the pomp and the pride of their worldly estate ; Walk down iu your patches, aud find, if you can, Whyopeus a pew to a moneyless man. Go look to yon Judge in his dark fiowiug gown, With the scales wherein law weigheth equi ty down, Where he frowns on the weak and smiles on the strong, And punishes right, while be justifies wrong. Where jurors their lips on the Bible hath laid, To renders verdict they’ve already made— Go there, in the court room, aud tied, if you cun, Any law for the cause of a moneyless tnau. Go look to the banks, where Mammon has told His hundreds of thousands of silver and gold, Where, sale from the hands of the starving and poor Lies pile upon pile of the glittering ore ; Walk up to the counter —Ah, there you may stay Till your limbs grow old and your hair turns gray, And you’ll find at the banks no one of the clan, With money to lend to a moneyless man. Then go to your hovel ; no raven has fed The wife who has suffered too long for her bread; Kneel down by her pallet, and kiss the death frost From the lips of the ar.ge! your poverty lost, Then turn in your agony upward to God, Aud bless, while it smites you, the chasten ing rod; And you’ll fiud at the end of your life’s little span, There’s a welcome above for a moneyless man Hi Hill gaga ti*. Josh Billings relateth Lis first expe rience with the gong tliusly : I can never eradicate hnli from nty memeory the sound of the first gong I ever heard —I was settin on the front fiefs of a tavern in the sitty uv Buffer lo, pensively smokin. The sun was go in to bed, and the beveus fur and nere were blushing at the performance. The Ery Kanal, with its golden waters, was ou its way to Albany, at-d I was perns in the lino uv botes a fl a’in bi, and thiukin uv Italy (whvre I used to live) and her gondolers. My on tiro sole, as it were, wc z in a swei, I wanted to klime, I felt grate, I actually grew. There-are things in this life tu big to be trifled with ; there are times when a man braks lusc from himself, when he sees spir rite, when he can almost tuch the mun', and feels as tho ho cud til both hands with the stars uv beven —almost fware he was a tank president. That’s what ailc 1 me. But the course uv true love never did run smutb (this was Sitakspeare’s opin ion, too.) Just as I wos daing uiy best —dutuaicr, pummer, spat, bong, boiler, crash, roar, ram, dummer, dur^ —with one tremendous jump, I s'roc the ter.- tcr of the sidewok, with another I stood in the middle of the street, snorting like an Irjine pony at a band ol musik Gazin io wild despair at the tavern stand, aud hart swelled up as big as an out door oven, mi teeth were as lose os a string of bedcs I tb«t all the crock ery in the tav.ro hud fell down. I tbot uv fonomenoiiß. 1 tbot of Gabrel and bis horn. I wa* just on tbe pint of thinkin uv something else, when the landlord kum out to the front steps uv the tavern, holding by a string the bot tom uv an old brass kettle. He kaw;ed me gently with bis hand, I went slola and slola up to him, he kammed my foeres, he sod it wuz a gong, 1 saw tbe cu-sed thing, he sod supper was reddy, he asked we if I wud have black or green tea, and I sed I wud. Ami at perfection in_cverytbing, and although good aims do not alwaye pro duce iet feet results, yet those who strive for the best, and persevere, will oome muoh nearer to it than tho ono whose laz'.niss and defpoudency makes him give it up as unattainable. Be not over come by bmall failures, but redouble jour tfftrts and icuew your determiut pon to Ecccced. From the Grilfin Star. Aiigier (>ettplli Him a N«*w Organ. Binee the Era and the Governor have n adc pcaoe, ibe literary Treasurer has been “put to it 1, for an ‘Lrgan.” Ho has, however, at last made bis scleetiou in tin person of the Federal Ruin The last Dumber of the Ruin contains » long and bran new proclamation by the treasurer, in which he has anew woe, in addition to his former iliiad.— Besides his usual stock of abuse against the Gov., he is down on ono “Fitch,” whose paper, it appears, he roads but does not psy for. We don't propose to take the time or trouble to make ex tended comments on this letter. We tbiuk a great deal of the Treasurer, (that is wo ued to.) Before the war there wasn’t a cleverer man in Atlanta than Angier. We believe he would prefer to be a olcver man now, if he could arrange his business to suit that oharaoter. We know exactly what ails him. The war demoralized h’m in the first place ; after the war he did wbat tu.ny others did—played his yaokec birth and pretended loyalty for a big office; got the office and added much to the already respectable pile that ho made out of the neces-itie9 of the peo ple during the war. It was all right enough perhaps from a “rebel” point of view, to make all he could out of the gnvtrnment which bad oppressed us, but in the pure light of sterling loyalty, such dealings might not bear close scru tiny However, we don’t propose to “go for” Aogier as a Federal officer Having milked his Federal office dry, it gave him an appetite for still fatter game—he must handle the purse of the Slate of Georgia. By the aid of negro Radical voters, who took be “one of them,'’ he got hold of the purse strings; he and the Governor fell out; how, we don’t exactly know, but tucliued to the opinion that Angier wouldu’t divide fair; and straightway Angier is seized with an awful dysente ry of virtuous indigoa’ion, to which be gives vent through the papers. And now wc come to the poiut wo started for, aod that is, a little advice, both to Aogier anil our friend of the “ Ruin.” To Augior we say, buy you a paper, “luck, stuck and barrel.” X ou say the Governor has “bribed into silence quite a number of newspapers,” (this is supposed to allude to the four teen or fifteen papers which publish the proclamations, &u , aud, by the way, is a courteous and elegant chargo against he most influential papers in the 8t .te.) Now upon your supposition that the Governor has “bribed” these rogues into silcucc; of course, with a little more “bribery,” he could turn the whole pack loose upon your devoted head. Then where would you be un less you had a paper of your own to fight them with ? We therefore, again urge you to buy a “machine.” The Star is not fur sale just now, but when ever it is to be put on the market we will let you know. Now for friend Hough ten; of the Ruin ; let us cauii n you agaiust (be blarny us our oily tougued treasurer. Such language is very sweet, to be sure : ‘Y am njiticcd, tbat amid the dispe -i ion and rush for plunder, to know that thcre’ra a few papers io Giorgia that arc not subsidized Ly Executive pat ronage, at and that this old vanguard (the Federal L'uion.) whilst others are yield ing to venality, has the manliness and honesty to speak the truth boldly. Aud I can Dot refrain from expressing to you uiy warmest tbauks for the correct and seDsiole view you take in your issue of the 21st instant, of the pure malicious suit against me by the Governor.” But “blarney” won’t buy the baby a frock. Don’t publish any more of An gler’s proclamations unless he c irei down with tfco scads, lie it able to do it. We know it, an 1 know how he got able; and if you do his advertising, you deserve to die a pauper. We reptat it —make him pay. Olooiny Accounts of the Cotton Crop ill Arkansas. Helena, Auk., Sept. 18. Reliable panics from various sections of the couuty and State, in town to day, give more gloomy accounts of tho cot ton crop than have fbt been had. It is generally and particularly a-serted that the middle and low r crop sre all tbat will be made, tbe former being excecd ingly light. The top cron is an entire f.ilure. The cold Northwest winds of the last week proved disastrous to the squares and young bolts, and no bloom has matured biuco tbe 15th of Augurt. Upon a comparison of notes with plan ters from all parts of the country, it was unanimously agreed that an aver age of seven hundred pounds of seed cotton to tbe aero will be the yield of Phillips county. Aecouufs from Inde pendence, Jackson, IV oodruff and White counties, and fr m the \\ hite River Valley, generally indicate a sim ilar falling i ff, aDd in some ioftances show a muoh lighter and more deficient yie’d. Phillips is a fair cri'onm of the riv cr counties, while reports from the cot • ton region of Arkansas valley shew tbat if half a crop is made, it will be the maximum yiell. In 6Gnvj instances, uot even one-third cf a crop will be mad. from a magnificent promise in July, the crop is Dcxt to a failure iu Sep ember. We have no more eh ering accounts from the crops in Tunica, Co ahoma, aud ths other cotton counties of Missis, ippi.— Cor. Memphis Avalunth*.

Besides I have been fig uring on this matter some, and what do you suppose it costs us to putronizo old Bob ?” “Well, a dollar or two a week, I suppose,” said Jim. Hum, taking a pencil ami a piece of paper Irom bis pocket book, handed them to Jim and said, “Let us look at it fully, and make a fair calculation. You deposit— “ Your money—and lose it. “Your time—and lose it. “Your character—and lose it, “Your health of body—and lose it. “Your strength of m ; nd—and lose !t. “Your manly independence—and lose it. “Your self respect—and lose it. “Your sense of right and wroDg— and lose it “Your self-contr<>r—and Joai it. “Your home comfort—and lose if; “Your wife’s happiness—and lose it. “Your children’s rights—and lose them. “Your country’s boDor—and lose it. “Your own soul—and lose it.” “Sain, I’ll take the pledge for life oa that.

Judging from his thorough scicntifio attainments, nod his great love for and devotion to geology aud mineralogy, wa confidently hope for important results from this survey. It is generally known that iron exists in the greatest abundance all through this reotion, and tbat bituminous coal crops arc in many places, but it is not known that the latter is in veins suffi ciently thick and near cheap transporta tion to pay for the mining. Between the mouth of John's creek and Coosa— ville, in this county, Mr Howard thinks the indications of petroleum are quite as good as anywhere in tho oil regions of Pennsylvania. The Atlanta Con*titution, referring tr» the subject of the State Fair and its in vited guests, says: 31uny of the persons who will bo there are among the most distinguished men of both parties North. They have been invited, they have accepted those unsought invitations in a kindly spirit, and Southern hospitality must do its duty on the occasion and th» courtesy due to guests of the State must be shown litem Let onr people be polite without sycophancy, attentive without obsequiousness, and dignified without hauteur to those guests, what ever be their politics; let us show them Southern character in its best light—hospitable, courteous, frank, en ergetic, generous—warm friends end magnanimous foenieh; chivalric and liberal; knowing what is due self-re spect, but not carping or prejudiced ; let the occasion be improved to frater nize with the good, and we believe that great benefit will result beyond the mote physical consequences u 1 tlia Fair.
